fire-rated aluminum windows

Aluflam's fixed storefront window frames are constructed from thermally broken narrow aluminum extrusions filled with a proprietary fire blocking material. Window products are available in 20, 45, and 60 minute ratings for interior and exterior installation, and are fully tested and listed by Underwriters Laboratories to ANSI/UL 9 and UBC 7-4 (1997) standards. All Aluflam fire-rated products are MEA approved for use in the City of New York.

Aluflam windows are factory finished and fabricated complete before delivery — reducing installation and glazing to a conventional task for the commercial glazing contractor.

A popular option for glazing larger 60 minute windows is the Contraflam Structure butt joined glazing, where multiple panels of fire-rated glass can be joined together by means of a unique fire-rated silicone joint. This mullion-less design is available for interior systems.
